Sports Injuries

Sprains and Strains

• Sprains are injuries to ligaments, the tough bands connecting bones in our joints. A sprain is a stretch and/or tear of a ligament.
• Strains are injuries to muscles or tendons, which anchor muscles to bones. Strains are often referred to as “pulled muscles.”

Knee Injuries

• These can range from simple pain or swelling to more severe injuries like a torn ligament (e.g., ACL tear) or damaged cartilage (e.g., meniscus tear).

Tendonitis

• Inflammation or irritation of a tendon. It’s often a result of overuse of the involved muscle-tendon unit.

Groin Pull

• Straining of the inner thigh muscles.

Tennis or Golf Elbow

• Overuse injury of the elbow tendons.

Achilles Tendon Injuries

• Can range from inflammation (tendonitis) to a rupture.

Hamstring Strain

• Injury to one or more of the three hamstring muscles at the back of the thigh.

Plantar Fasciitis

• Inflammation of the thick tissue on the bottom of the foot, leading to heel pain.

Rotator Cuff Injury

• Injury to the group of muscles and their tendons that act to stabilize the shoulder.
